For the sake of accuracy, LP Japan has never existed.
 
Performance Sailcraft Japan has been terminated as a licensed builder, apparently.
 
Takao Otani is the owner of PSJ.
 
I doubt he would need to give Rastegar a slice of his pie, and he didn't.

stock 'em high, sell 'em cheap... sounds like a good idea to bring Laser sailing back its roots as a beach boat you can go race against some mates.

The more caterpillars we have squirming around in Lasers, the more butterflies we can sail against in the future!


prices  the markwt will stand - while the  youth system and wannabe  olympian sailors  are  happy to pay silly money for  the ( endless trail of identikit  dove grey hulled) boats  and bits

Sorry the grammar police are here, I just can't help myself. It's should 'have' not should 'of'. That is all.

I give it until March that Jimbo is in a Laser, with a photo on tumblr of him and Rastegar in a manly back-slapping embrace.

I've never thought of myself as a catapillar (oldish one at that), but I commend your choice of analogy... now am I ever going to metamorphosis into something beautiful?
